Frankie Laine - That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the mornin'

Out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day

Show me that river,

Take me across

Wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun,

Give me nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day

Right from the dawn

And through to the evening

Nothing but slaving

And all the time I pray...

Weary, so weary

Up in the morning,

Out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

But that lucky old sun got nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman,

Toil for my kids

Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and gray

While that lucky old sun has nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above,

Can't you know I'm pining,

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud

With a silver lining,

Lift me to paradise

Show me that river,

Take me across

Wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun,

Give me nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day
